Great while they lastedOctober 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought these on 6/20/2008. On 10/28/2008, I popped them in to listen to a new MP3 album I'd gotten and initially thought I'd lost the hearing in my left ear. Then I put the left earbud in my right ear and realized that the left bud just wasn't working. Read a few reviews, and you'll find out this is not uncommon. This was an awful lot of money for a product which lasted through about four months of use.
To be perfectly truthful, the performance was terrific while they lasted, and the bonus is that the bud covers are made for people with various sizes of ear canals. I got great sound, and didn't have to worry about the buds falling out because they fit snugly.
A couple of months ago, the sheath to the plug came loose. I didn't worry about that because it was easy enough to pull the plug in such a way as to not have it come loose. There's just not much I can do about mostly-absent sound, though.
I'm returning them under warranty, although it remains to be seen whether this will be of much value, given some other experiences with their customer service, but it'll be back to the $5 headphones I was using before.
I doubt I'll buy another V-Moda product. I just can't afford more than $200 per year in order to listen to music I've bought.
Great sound - while it lasts.October 26, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Folks, take the advice of one of the elder statesman in this group; only buy these ear buds if you have a high threshold for aggravation.
The sound VModa achieves is outstanding, albeit a bit heavy on the bass, but, overall, the listening experience is WONDERFUL - *while it lasts*.
I had these ear buds for less than 30 days before the left channel went dead on a long overseas flight; nothing to do but break out the book at that point.
I'm looking for something else, right now. There are too many reported instances for this to be a chance occurrence.
Great sounds, terrible durabilityOctober 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These earbuds took a little getting used to, as the fit doesn't always hold. I used the smallest of the gel earpieces and they still popped out a lot. The sound, however, is amazing! I use them primarily at work to listen to books and drown out my coworkers. They made me feel like I was sitting down with the reader. They don't last, however, less than 5 months and they are already broken beyond repair. No good!! The sounds is awesome, but they aren't worth it unless you have $100 to throw away every couple months.
DO NOT BUY!October 15, 2008 These are extremely overpriced earbus. I have had 2 sets, on replaced under warranty and they both broke. I am really carefull abou them the sound is just so-so. Better bass that most but Female Vocals and piano sounds are just terrible- they can just a lot of boom boom and completely-un-HiFi tunes. They both broke at the jack, and there is a lot of cable rustling - there are others that are a lot better. I have had Bose Tri-ports, for Jazz Classical and Vocals -excellent. These are just Volume brain blasters. If you want your brain fried, these are it. But it won't hold up for long.
It's been 2 years and I'm still in love!!October 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to admit, the price scared me in the very beginning but I have owned the SAME PAIR of v moda vibe earbuds for more than two years. I use them when I'm just sitting around, I use them while I run, I use them everywhere and I have not had one issue. The sound is excellent and the quality even better. I would not buy anything else. My husband has the $100 bose earbuds and wishes he had mine. I bought them specifically for when I run and, mile for mile, they have not let me down. I've even worn them on a 14 hour plane ride. If you want to get your money's worth, these earbuds are definitely the way to go.
